It's more like Indian red than it does, but it's still good. They're real close.
I know, I am a hunchback. That's why I wear my shirts loose all the time.
All right, so I'm just gonna do like 10-15 minutes because I got to be somewhere today, so
I just wanted to say a few things to you guys today because I was in a weird mood the other night.
You know what I mean? It kind of happens with me.
I stopped drinking Red Bull a couple months ago, and I haven't been right since, so I
just wanted to talk to you guys. I just said there's a few things. I'm gonna jump right to the point.
Before I do that though, can you hear me? I can hear myself,
which is a little weird.
How about I just turn the volume up on one of these things?
Smart idea. It's working.
All right, so the first thing I wanted to talk about
So I've been doing these, well, I haven't been doing them. I've done a couple of these Zoom
Zoom things, Zoom classes, and I want you guys to do me a favor. I need you to do me a favor. I need you to list
the things that you struggle with the most in the comments, and tell me the things that you want to learn
because I'm gonna put up a whole series of
Zoom classes.
No, not Siri. No, Siri. Go away, Siri. Sorry.
I said, I'm not gonna say it again.
Anyways, if you could, because I'm gonna go back and I'm gonna read all these. I'm being very serious.
I want to do like a schedule.
You know, maybe starting in the new year or something like that
where you guys can sign up and learn
the stuff that you want to learn instead of me just doing stuff that I want to do.
Lost my train of thought. It happens all the time, too.
Yeah, that's right. People, put your stuff on there, please.
It's very important to me because I'm working on that now, and I'm gonna read all these comments back.
I'm only going for like another 10 minutes.
Next thing I want to talk about is, I know everybody's like kind of dampened recently
because
I've personally like dealt with a lot of death recently, and it's a
it's like mind-blowing a little bit, mind-boggling, and it'll get you down.
And I just want to make sure that you guys know you got to just keep on moving forward, and I know it's a sad thing,
but you, if you let yourself get brought down by anything, it's just gonna suck you down, and it's just gonna
it's gonna take you out. You gotta, you gotta keep going. You gotta stay in the right mindset. You gotta stay focused.
We just got to proceed, you know. I caught myself getting into that trap recently. I gotta take this thing out. I keep hearing myself.
Hello? Hello? All right.
I know they can hear me.
So I got, I got caught in that trap recently, and it's, it's,
it bothered me a lot, and that's one of the reasons why you didn't see me for like 30 days, because
you know, when somebody, when somebody you know, you know, when somebody that I know, when they, you know,
if they pass away or something like that, I always have this guilty feeling in my mind, and it just, it just, you know,
it really takes its toll on me. So I'm just here, you know,
I just wanted to say a couple things to you guys, like, you know, force yourself to stay up, stay positive.
You know, it's a real serious thing, and it can help you so much.
Okay, so I, millions of people,
everybody wants to know the paint I'm using. It's Winsor & Newton. It's water mixable oils.
Yeah, I don't need to show it to you. It's Winsor & Newton water mixable oils. Now, I'm gonna tell you
that I used this stuff four years ago, and it's not the same, and according to them, they didn't change it,
but I don't buy that,
because I think they changed it. This stuff is so thick. This is better than any oil paint that I've ever used.
I'm, you know, I'm not gonna, I know, I said I was gonna give it away. I'm just throwing it away.
I just don't, I'm not, I don't want to give anything to anybody that's, I don't know, it's got chemicals and stuff in it.
It stinks, it smells, and I'm never using it again,
but I think if you, if you can, you should buy Winsor & Newton.
That's all I'm gonna, it's all I'm gonna use.
I've tried other ones, and I didn't like them. I've tried five other brands. Winsor & Newton is the best one, so.
I started with the small tubes to test them out to see, and then I went to the big ones after that, so.
Hey, man, I didn't see you at Wawa last night. I was there in the middle of the night, like 3 in the morning.
I didn't see you there. I was, I was actually looking for you,
but uh,
you know what to do, man. You just gotta, you know, pull together, man.
It's a weird time of year for sure, but I, you know, I disappeared for 30 whole days or longer or something like that
because I just, I, you know, I got in my own feelings and, um, you know, I'm out of that now, you know,
and of course it's like, it's like the most upsetting thing when, you know, when somebody does, you know, pass away
and there's all this sickness going on around and, and there's a lot of stuff going on in the world right now,
but do yourself a favor and, and just try to keep your mindset straight.
It'll, it'll do so much stuff for you, you know what I mean?
That's a good one. That's a good one.
I'm telling you though, I'm, I'm very serious and I wanted to do this. I gotta keep track of,
I wanted to keep track of time here.
My watch is dead, I think.
What time, 1234.
You know, just because I gotta be somewhere, but I, I, you know,
I just haven't had a chance to really talk to anybody recently and, um, I just, you know, I'm, I don't know.
I'm just like, hey, how you doing? You know, nice to see you. I'm here. I'm still okay.
You know, from time to time.
I'm real big on that mental stuff, you know, and I, uh,
mental illness is something that like run, you know,
whatever it runs in my family, you know what I mean? Always has and it's, uh,
you know, accompanied by depression and all kinds of stuff and
you, um, you will live the life that you think, whatever you think in your mind, that's how you're going to live.
You live the life you think you deserve. Yeah, I like that too. You have a lot of good sayings lately.
Positive thoughts. Yeah.
I, um, I was, I was so down recently. I was so down. I was so, I was just so down.
I didn't return anybody's messages or emails or anything like that.
And, uh,
you know, I just got out of that. I'm just done with that. I'm not doing that anymore.
I know, I don't know why I do stuff like that because it only, it only affects myself and a bunch of other people
probably too, you know what I mean? And so you just gotta, you just gotta keep going forward.
So I'm just trying to, I'm trying to give you guys, you know, something to like look forward to.
Has Ross saved you? You saved me. I look forward to seeing you. Well, thank you. That means a lot, you know,
considering I never thought I was good enough to save a fly, but thank you. Seriously. Sincerely. That's why I'm here.
That's why I do this stuff. And that's why it pisses me off when I
let myself, let my mind take over and I'm not here for 30 days or whatever, because you know,
what if somebody like you, you know, misses something that's important, you know, that bothers me. So
I am, uh, I'm keeping my mind disciplined, you know, disciplined for sure
because I want to help people. Um,
I see a lot of familiar names.
So yeah, so I'm not gonna, a couple more minutes here,
but my number's on the bottom of the thing there.
If you want to shoot me a text, you'll get a thing back. It'll be like, yeah, it's just agree to this, whatever.
That's just for whatever legal purposes.
Um, and after that, it's just, it's just me texting you.
So if you want to text me, do it now because I'm taking it down.
I took that number down like three months ago, putting it back up today just for a few minutes.
And um, if you do text me and I don't get back to you, you know right away,
just please understand that I, you know, I do get a lot of text messages. Okay.
So I'm just putting it out there because it's a holiday,
holidays.
And I know a lot of people are struggling and I like to talk to people and try to help people if I can.
Um, and now that I can help myself, I think that I can proceed to help others.
Um, but the last 30 days I was unable to help my own self.
So, um,
what else was I going to say? Um, back to the beginning real quick, back to the beginning.
If you are somebody that wants to take
a Zoom class,
you have to, please, I'm asking you, don't email me, text me.
Better yet, send me a text. Send me a text of what you want to learn and what you struggle with.
Comments too, because I'm going to read all this stuff back. Okay.
And what I'm going to do is
I'm really going to like look through these and just try to see if there's like common stuff that that people, you know,
want to do or
you know
stuff that people are struggling with, you know, when it comes to painting, I'm going to try to make a schedule
for that. And I'm going to really try hard to, you know, to make this happen quickly. So
if you, just one last time, please leave
either in the comments,
send me a text,
say, Hey, you know, sorry, pal, not interested, whatever, just say whatever's on your mind. Um,
you know,
but I love all your comments. I was reading from the other night, you know, the other night I was in a weird mood.
I was, I was in a weird, I was in a weird mood.
I was, I almost cut my picture up if you were there watching, you, you know, I pulled the knife out and stuff. Um,
I was trying to be sort of funny, but I think some people took that a different way, you know,
I was, uh, I was borderline serious.
And the reason it was a good point behind that, um, because when I make something, it's a memory, right?
So it's a memory and most people don't know that. So when I make something it's in front of me, it's a memory.
How do you get rid of a memory? You destroy it.
You know what I mean?
So anyhow, um, if anybody was nervous or whatever, don't be, because I was trying to have somewhat of a sense of humor
trying to lighten the air because it was a really, it was a really weird day the other day.
That's right. Yeah. Oh, do me a favor. Like, share, subscribe. Thank you.
Get the brains over here. Like, share and subscribe. Please, uh, turn your volume up, please.
Turn your volume up, please. Well, I think the volume is up.
Let me check it. Hold on. This is the stuff that like, um, hold on. Let me
Oh my gosh, it's up. It's yeah, it's way up. I can't turn it up. I'll sound like a, uh,
Sound like I'm in a mud hole or something. I'm only going for a few more minutes. I'm out of here
I just want to do like try to, you know, say hello. I love you guys. You got to stay positive
Don't let all the negativity and the, you know, never ending pandemic that we're living in, you know, bog you down
um
Because I know ----'s weird, but like you just got to get through it, you know
You got to get through it. You got to make yourself understand that you can
And don't think any other way and that's it. That's all you can do. You can do nothing else
You can do nothing else
You know what I mean
I mean, uh, I could go on I could go on I could tell you some stories that would just blow your mind away
But i'm not gonna i'm not gonna waste your time
Think positive positive thinking it helps it really does
Sharing a positive quote in every video
Affirmation. Yeah, I think that'd be a great idea actually to do you're gonna write them for me
Okay, here we go. We're gonna start sharing positive
quotes and
Affirmations. I'll see you jay. You have a good one, too, buddy. I'll see you
You know next time I make my way over to the borough
in the middle of the night a.m stuff
That'd be a good idea I think at the end of the videos now that i'm gonna start making videos again
You know what? I mean?
I mean, it pisses me off to not do that. I don't want people to think i'm lazy or anything because i'm not lazy
but
you know
I'm just you know, I you know, I struggle with stuff every day, but I know how to control it
The problem is I don't sometimes and that's what i'm trying to tell you like you just have to
You just have to it starts with your thoughts and your thinking if you if you wake up and you just think everything is ----
That's what you get. That's just what it's gonna be, you know, and that's like real that's like a real thing
so
I'm really like I really enjoy trying to help anybody, you know, so
I'm going to i'm gonna i'm not making a new don't don't even make a new year's resolution that that's like old stuff
Don't even do that. If you know you want to do something like just do it right now start right this second
Because I think the whole resolution thing
Right, yeah, it's like I got a few more days, you know what I mean or whatever like no don't do that
Just do it right now
Yep another day another year
Don't stop for nobody. No, that's right. You know, but I but I don't know. I just wanted to make a quick video
I do have to roll out of here. So i'm gonna end this here
Um, i'm gonna just wait maybe like a minute or something shoot me a text and uh for everybody to ask
Yes, I did get this done
The other day I just i'm a baby. So don't it look might look cool, but i'm a i'm a cry baby. I
Asked for like 50 breaks
so
But uh, yeah, so i'm going all the way up and you know, i'm gonna up my neck my face, you know
I'm not doing my neck or face. I'm just doing my arms and back chest legs, you know all the areas
covering up all the ugly so um
All right, so I see some of you guys are already texting so if you want that that's it
That's the best way just send me a text because I I can access them quickly. I will read the comments though
Um, but i'm doing this for you. I want to I want to do this and it is going to be a paid class like the
zoom stuff
um, but it's
Ask anybody. I don't know if anybody's on here that that took them
